Free Computerized Self-Testing Hearing Screening Booth
Individuals can come to our Elmwood site without an appointment and self-check their hearing via our one of a kind, free computerized hearing screening. This simple five minute procedure will not only let you know if a hearing loss is present, but if so, the degree of severity and recommendations for any possible follow-up. A print-out of the results is available at the end of the hearing screening.
